NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
They got another highly mobile defender in smooth-skating overager Daniel Nieminen, who was on my board last year, in Round 6.
If they’d taken Hagens or Martone at No. 5, they would have been winners here. I liked the rest of their draft a lot and thought about slotting them as winners regardless, because I really do like Martin as well.

I’m very confident James Hagens will be a riser in a re-draft when we start doing those for this class years from now, and I think people are going to come to that realization as early as next year when he’s one of the best players in college hockey and stars (again) at the World Juniors. The Bruins needed a premium, potential top-of-the-lineup forward and preferably a center at that pick, and I think it could and should sail over the wall for a home run.
